Well I finally saw the Gyn/Oncologist. He has a very good bedside manner. He spoke to me in clear understandable terms. All those test and once again as I've said before it still comes down to hands on examinations. He did a pelvic exam and rectal as well and He said in his best judgement he did not believe I have cancerous growths. With that being said he still had to address those bad reports so he suggested I re-take the CT Scan in 4-6 wk. As for my pain He thinks it could be related to the diverticulitis I sometimes have issues with so he suggested I go to a gastroenterology. He explained to me that the polyps could have entangled my ovary.
My CA-125 was only slightly elevated. The New Dr. you know the young I didn't want made me a appointment right away to see a gastric Dr. and he gave me a personal call. I sure hope He stays that personal for the duration of his practice which I think will be long and prosperous.
On a side note I will be meat free for the month of August I am trying to do every other month until I can be meat free forever. Well made eggs. I think that would make me a octo/lacto vegetarian.
Love Ya, See Ya, Bye

The Dr. I did'nt want to see
OK, you guys know I was really upset with my family practice Dr. 1st about how he talk to me 2nd about sending me to the new kid on the block.
Well I really had to do some serious praying and then I still tried to change the Dr. but couldn't. Goes to show you when we have our minds made up about something wither God tells us no leave it or not we still try to have our way. Maybe at that time I needed the training collar I use for my puppy. He gets a little zap if he is being stubborn about a command.
Well I went to the appointment and guess what he was great he was understanding even after I told him I had reservations about coming to him. He did my exam and then referred me to the Dr. I had talked about with my other Dr. He said it was protocol for me to 1st see a regular OB/GYN then be sent to a specialist. I can only imagine the look on Gods face as I realized how tantrum like I had been.
My advice stay informed about your body but trust the doctors you have chosen to give you good sound advice.
Love Ya See Ya Bye

Pain Pill Day
I lost my day. I took the pain pills the doctor prescribed Vicoden and totally lost today. I mean I went through the motion of the day but it was a bluer till about a hour ago.
I learnt I would not be very productive stuck on medication all day. Some people have said they can take this medicine and go on with the day as if noting was wrong. As a matter of fact they said they felt euphoric. I absolutely do not fall in that category. My head hurt I felt out of control of my thoughts I really just dislike the way it makes me feel.
The upside is I did spend time with my soon to be daughter in law, for now shes my executive asst. It amazes me how people can come into your life and it's like they have been a part of your family all their life.
OK I'm dizzy again did I say this stuff is time released just when I think it's over here we go again. Man I don't see how drug addicts do it.
Love ya See ya Bye

Here I Grow Again
Wow, I finally made it back. I know you say where have you been? What happened to ya? Well what can I say, except life happens. Anyway I'm so glad to be sharing with you again. Rather than try to catch you up, I'll just start from know.
I will have to add another topic on my I'm a survivor list. I just do not know what it will say yet the finale say from the doctors is not in. It might say I survived ovarian cancer or it could say I survived ovarian cancer scare. Either one will be great.
I'm telling you this is by far the hardest test yet of my faith in God. I mean with all the modern advances of science these days and they still can not tell you what it is until they go in and do what I like to call a lookie lu. Of course they have a name for it laproscopy I guess I spelled that right.
I told my producer I'm going to take my camera to every appointment that allows me from now on just so anyone that might need some strength from my experience might get it. I wish I would have had it when I got the results from the CT scan and it read in the first paragraph they saw a grossly normal uterus. I haven't had one of those in 20 years. I had a hysterectomy they removed my uterus and cervix at least that's what they told me. I guess I should have ask to see the old parts you know like when they fix your car.
I should have had it when my husband and I went to the first doctor appointment and I thought it was a tag team wrestling match with my husband and my family practice doctor agreeing on everything from me not using the Internet to find out more to the last commit of do not get all dramatic about this. Wow I am pretty sure that is the last time I will be in that doctor's office again . He always had a pretty bad bed side manner but this time I just can not take it. I left feeling betrayed by my uninformed husband and compassion lest doctor.
I'm waiting to see a gynecologist next. I will enter his doors with the same fervor and zest for knowledge as I always do and I hope to be received well and appreciated for taking a active roll in my health.
I will just say I believe my husband now understands my need to learn as much as I can about what is being said about my body at least I think he does one can only hope.
Love ya, See ya, Bye
